Strong Foundations class at Meraki

Moderate, 45 minutes, max 8 people

Strong Foundations

Lift things properly. Then lift slightly heavier things.

Dumbbells, kettlebells and bands. We teach the movement before we add weight, and we add weight slowly. This is the class that keeps you carrying your own suitcase at eighty.

Anyone. The coach picks your weights with you.

  • Lifting and carrying

Mobility and Stretch

For hips that have been sitting since 1998.

Slow work through the full range of your hips, spine and shoulders. You walk out moving easier than you walked in, which is the whole point.

Everyone, and especially stiff mornings.

Balance and Control class at Meraki

Gentle, 45 minutes, max 8 people

Balance and Control

Steady on the stoep steps and the gravel road.

Single leg work, slow control and a little coordination. Balance fades quietly when you stop using it and comes back when you practise it. This is where you practise it.

Adults and seniors. Every exercise has a supported version.

Good for
  • Balance
  • Body control
  • Confidence on uneven ground

A strong middle and a back that stops complaining.

Classic mat work with careful cueing. Deep core strength, better posture and more attention to your breathing than you are probably used to.

All levels. Beginners are welcome from week one.

Good for
  • Core strength
  • Lower back comfort
  • Posture
When it runs

Circuit

The one where you sweat. In a good way.

Timed stations that mix strength and cardio. You work at your own pace and the coach adjusts each station for you. Expect to leave a little out of breath and in a better mood.

People who already move a bit and want more.

Good for
  • Heart and lung fitness
  • Stamina
  • Strength endurance
